quickvolshow and showvol crashes on VS Code about ipyvolume

[maartenbreddels]

Hi,

very strange behaviour. Can you try what happens in the Jupyter notebook? Maybe there is a driver issue. Which OS are you using?

regards,

Hello,
I'm using Windows 10. As I said, the default anaconda install with ipyvolume installed from pip works perfectly fine on a Jupyter notebook, with no errors. The same exact code and environment however, will not work specifically on the quickvolshow example on VSCode.

I've done some more testing and I ran almost every example on the example page, including the male head example and lighting examples, and none of them caused a crash on VSCode. The only exception is the first volume example in this page. This points to a problem specifically with the quickshowvol and volshow functions.

I also found there are some error messages that appear on the VSCode developer tools console:


There are a lot of "Exception opening new comm" messages flooding the console when running anything related to ipywidgets, including a simple interact() slider and the working examples, so I'm not sure if they are related to this problem.

Edit: I re-run all the examples and now it looks like the last two examples from lighting are also crashing. To be clear, I'm sure the first of the two examples ran correctly the first time I tried. However I have not been able to make it work again even after creating a new notebook.

May be related to #microsoft/vscode-jupyter#4525. I opened a remote Jupyter server and connected to it using VSCode, and everything worked! So this is probably a VSCode issue. I'd like to open an issue there, any tip on how I may go about it?
